Project summary
European regions need a radical transition toward seamless intermodal mobility to motivate people to choose sustainable forms of travelling, especially when living in rural areas.
Actually, underserved communities in peripheral and rural areas face a diverse range of mobility challenges. Limitations in digital connectivity, transport infrastructure and services can in fact have significant social and economic consequences for communities in terms of reducing travel horizons and hindering access to opportunities such as employment, education and social activities.
EMBRACER is a region-driven project where seven underserved regions have committed to integrate public transport with informal modes (cycling, ride-hailing, car/bike/scooter sharing, on-demand transport, autonomous shuttles) to enhance the interconnection with urban areas and achieve seamless intelligent climate-resilient regional and local intermodal mobility.
These seven regions will implement seven different Policy Instruments, focused on strategic, integrated and sustainable urban development.
How does EMBRACER concretely work?
Working at policy level, in EMBRACER the dialogue with the regional stakeholders is crucial to promote a concrete mobility change.
Through periodical events and meetings, stakeholders are actively involved, covering aspects such as planning, policies, digital technology.
Identifying and sharing innovative intermodal mobility solutions, that can be replicated in other countries, will help filling the gap between urban and underserved areas.
Who is behind EMBRACER?
EMBRACER brings together 13 partners with experts from Portugal, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Germany, Lithuania, Finland, and Ireland. EMBRACER also includes two Discovery Partners from Ukraine and Serbia:
